EMILY's List Launches Madam President Campaign to Put a Woman in the White House by 2016 (Because Isn't It About Time We Had a Female President?)

Remember that crazy little thing called the 2012 election? Yeah, yeah, Barack Obama was reelected, but do you know who else was elected to office? A historic number of women. Good times, right? If you're a big time political junkie like me, you can't wait for 2016 and the excitement of another big election year (sorry, 2014 midterm elections). What's made me more excited than ever? The ladies over at EMILY's List—the premier resource for women in politics—launched a program they're calling "Madam President." What's it all about? Putting a woman in the White House.

"In 2012 voters across the country elected an historic number of women leaders because they had the right priorities— the Madam President campaign will build on that base, harness their energy and enthusiasm for women's leadership, and channel it toward putting a woman in the Oval Office," said EMILY's List president Stephanie Schriok in a statement today. "It is clear that this is our time—we are ready for a Madam President."

The campaign plans to hit battleground states—Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada—to get people excited about a female president. The timing is right, considering Anzalone Liszt Grove Research JUST reported that voters in these states/points of presidential contention are game for a female candidate. Not only did a whopping 90 percent of people say that they would vote for a qualified woman candidate, but 72 percent say they think it's likely that we will elect a female in the next presidential election (Did you hear that, Hillary?)

If that's not enough in the good news department, check this out: The same group indicated that they thought a female president would be considered more capable than a male president in understanding the challenges middle class families face, ending partisan squabbling, and putting the interest of American families ahead of politics. It seems like it's high time for a female president to take office. (Once more, with feeling: Did you hear that, Hillary?!) With only 1,286 days left till Election 2016, I, along with the rest of us here at Team Glamour, will be watching the Madam President campaign.

What are your thoughts on Madam President? Are you ready for a woman to take over the White House?
